The Lighter Side of Sandy...
Was listening to Mayor Bloomberg "speak Spanish." My whole family was rolling around laughing.
Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
Good afternoon, Dr. Callahan.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where you live/work, but I think that it is somewhere in New York.
I hope that you and your family are safe.
Yes, Brooklyn.
DeleteThanks for your kind wishes!
Obviously you're not on twitter.
ReplyDeleteHmm, this guy doesn't really nail what is happening. (In fact, you couldn't in text -- you need audio.) Bloomberg most definitely does NOT speak some pidgin Spanish or Spanglish. What he does is speak perfectly correct Spanish that *sounds* exactly like English. The closest I can come to conveying it in text is to imagine you were told you were to read an English text, but it would be filled with unfamiliar words:
Delete"Yoh esstoy mwee beayen."
No just read that in an ordinary English accent.
